Listened to Episode One yesterday and found myself hooked, now feverishly waiting for next week's episode. Would 100% recommend picking this series up if you haven't already!
We dialled it up to eleven for this one. Total audio. A beautiful script, brilliantly played, with a frankly jaw-dropping sound design and score by @jamiecomposer.bsky.social. Episode one is out now. Give your ears a treat. www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/s...
